Maples make it possible for homeowners with small yards or soil that is poor to enjoy these trees and develop their landscape despite limitations to their property. Maples work well as Asian-style landscapes with their palmate leaves and twisting or points in Zen trunks. Including specimens round a pond, patio or walkway will add flair to an otherwise dull location. Maples that are potted will become root crowded, or bound , in their pots every two to three decades and has to be repotted to allow for continuous growth.
